Summer Face Make up Essentials Mini Hual

Hi Guys!

So today was payday! Woot my favorite type of day because this means I get to treat myself to a few things. I have been waiting for my skin to get to its fullest tan before I went and bought any more skin products. This is because I hate having awkward in between colors/tones and I never know when to use them and often I just forget about them. Also I feel like picking out bronzers and blushes when you're already tan is a lot easier than thinking about which would look good tan. I picked up two items and I am so excited to use them!



 ( In "warm me up" Toasted Beige)

(Free sample of POREfessional primer)

Benefit's Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow Liquid Foundation was calling my name! I like using light/medium coverage foundations in the summer with SPF in them. I work at a pool and I just spend a lot of time outside so SPF is really important and full coverage foundation just makes my skin feel heavy in the summer.  The Hello Flawless foundation has all of this plus so much more. It has SPF 25 in it and is a light foundation that hydrates. It hits all the marks and the box it comes in is very cute (Benefit always has to cutest boxes)! Also it came with a free sample of the POREfessional primer which I am excited to try. I've heard awesome things about this primer so getting a free sample in the box was a great surprise. 


(Left: Blush in Orgasm Right: Bronzer in Laguna)

The second item I got was the NARS Blush/Bronzer Duo in Orgasm and Laguna. I am very late on this band wagon but hey better late than never! The NARS Blush is Orgasm and Bronzer in Laguna are two of the most raved about products in the blogging/youtubing world. To be honest, I can not think of one time that someone had something bad to say about this. This has put my expectations really high for this duo and I hope it does not disappoint! I think it is going to look really good on my summer tan! 

Have you tried either of this? What did you think? 

So rumor has it that Google Reader is going away so upset! But be sure to follow me on Bloglovin' to keep up with my posts! 

Lots of Love,

    Very nice products! I've been wanting to get the Orgasm/Laguna Bronzer duo for awhile, haven't gotten the urge to splurge yet though!

    I've been dying to purchase both of these items, but find such a hard time spending huge chunks of money on makeup, especially when I already have so much. I'm just tired using Revlon foundation right now, but in the summer it feels like I have a layer or film on my skin and HATE it. I may just force myself to spend the extra bucks and try a foundation like this. Great review!

      thanks so much for following me! It took me so long to buy the duo because I wasn't sure if it was worth the money so far I've only used it once and I did like it but i don't think i say if it was worth the money just yet! xx
